David's Exhortation To Stand Firm

In this world of increasing darkness
there is only one source of real light
the Lord God himself shines His glory
looking upon His own in their plight

This is the God of eternal salvation
promising it to all who believing trust
in the saviour of redeemed sinners
so trusting our fears will go bust

In our life there are so many dangers
from within and without they come
so the need is a mighty stronghold
one that will beat a mighty drum

When we have this behind our back
our front will then know no fear
this is our Lord God mighty in battle
stand firm! like David always in gear 

(some thoughts based on psalm 27)
